July 22, 1963

After losing his heavyweight title via a first-round knockout by Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson felt humiliated. He sometimes would walk the streets in disguise, not wanting to be recognized.

Ten months later, Patterson is hoping the results of his rematch with Liston are better. They aren't. The Big Ugly Bear decks Patterson three times, the third time for the count of 10. The mismatch in Chicago lasts just two minutes and 10 seconds, a mere four seconds longer than their first fight.

"Floyd can't beat Sonny at anything but a spelling bee," Jim Murray writes in the Los Angeles Times. "Liston could probably knock him out via smoke signals, and Floyd will probably get woozy if Liston just drove past his house in Scarsdale. You knew the fight was over as soon as you saw Floyd had forgotten a sledge hammer."
